Before Christmas I posted a request for information about software which
would run in the background on a Mac SE and snarf stuff off bbs, UNIX mail,
netnews and so on at dead of night.  Well, I got one useful reply but, due
to five-star incompetence on my part, I lost all trace of it.  I don't even
remember where it came from.  If the kind sender could please either
resend, or simply post the information, I -- and the several people who
asked to be mailed a summary -- should be grateful.  Craven apologies for
my screw-up.

Since making the posting, I've been delving into Red Ryder.  It looks as if
it can kind of do what I want provided that the remote machine does not
mind bundling stuff up in preparation for Kermit transfers, and provided
that I remember to leave Red running in the top window under Multifinder
before turning in (waits until a specified time don't seem to work unless
Red is in the top window when the time is reached).  If I get around to
writing a procedure to do what I want (conceivably, I could use Hypertalk
instead of RR) -- or if I find anything applicable on a bbs -- I'll be sure
to post details.
